Wish Big

Wow! It has been a while since I posted. My poor blog has been sadly neglected this year. I spent most of my time training for the Comrades which is a 90km run held here in South Africa. It was run 3 weeks ago and I managed to complete it in 10h16m. Hopefully I'll get some cardmaking done now during the winter.

I'm entering this card in a few challenges:
Fusion
Case this Sketch #81
Less is More Week 177 (Watercolour)
Seize the Birthday (Anything goes)

I went along with the butterfly theme. I watercoloured some cardstock with distress inks and then diecut the 'base' of the butterfly from the watercoloured piece. I embossed the sentiment in gold.
